Consisting of viscoelastic foam, the breathable material reacts to body temperature while allowing air to pass through, conforming to your shape without overheating.

What’s The Difference Between Memory Foam And Pocket Sprung Mattresses?
The main difference between pocket sprung and memory foam is the construction. Pocket sprung mattresses are made with a number of internal springs, as the name suggests. This spring mattress design prevents deep absorption of the body, rather holding it up as you sleep. Pocket springs provide support with minimal cushion, depending on the firmness level you choose.
Memory foam spreads weight evenly, conforming to the shape of the body. Memory foam mattresses guide you to a healthy sleeping position while improving posture. If you’re struggling with aches and pains, a memory foam mattress will help due to its soothing elasticity.

The average lifespan of a single bed memory foam mattress is between 8-10 years. As with all beds, mattresses and bedding, regular maintenance will make the most out of memory foam. With the right amount of TLC, a memory foam mattress can last even longer due to its durable construction. If you notice sags or decreased comfort, the time to replace your memory mattress may be approaching.
Designed to combat dust mites and bed bugs, the hypoallergenic interior of memory foam is suitable for those who suffer with irritations while they sleep. To maintain freshness and good hygiene, regular cleaning and care is essential. Memory foam is among the easiest mattress types to clean, requiring nothing more than a dry cloth and a vacuum cleaner to keep on top of cleanliness.
Are Memory Foam Mattresses Firm or Soft?
Memory foam mattresses come in a range of comfort levels to suit your specific requirements and sleeping preferences. While it is generally a more plush design in comparison with traditional spring mattresses, memory foam can be purchased in firmness ratings ranging from soft to extra firm.
Due to the cushioned memory foam layer, they sink in deeper than other types of mattresses, meaning they will typically have a more supple top layer than that of a standard mattress. If you prefer a firmer mattress, the options at the top end of the firmness scale will provide the balance and support you need.
